Snow Bunny pastel 5x7in
Yes, another bunny and we still have snow and more expected here in Minnesota, hope this little guy stays warm. I have tried to keep the strokes in this painting soft and have done no blending other than layering pastels. This is done on Wallis paper which works well with my style of work.
